Report
convened has it that all is not well in community where the unthinkable thing
happened.
The
family of an eighteen-year-old girl and the residents of Kentinkrono in the
Ashanti Region have been thrown into a state of shock and mourning this morning
after their daughter hanged herself to death.
The girl
who is identified as Afia, is a junior high school graduate who failed to get
placement in the ongoing computerized school selection placement system by the
Ghana Education service for JHS graduates. According to the father of the
deceased, he woke up at 3: 00am this dawn to use the washroom and bumped into
her daughter hanging on a tree in their house.
“I called
my wife and informed her what had happened. I then removed the rope around her
neck and hurriedly rushed her to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and
Technology hospital at Tech campus and that is where she was pronounced dead by
the medical staff”.
My
daughter was hale and hearty and didn’t show any signs of depression even after
checking her placement. Her name wasn’t on the placement list and the self
placement option had no course or school of her choice, so I assured and
promised her, I will do everything within my means to help her get a school and
course of her choice.
Waking up to this news, is heartbreaking and I
still don’t understand why my daughter would do this. I think there is more to
this because it is the first of it’s kind in my family”. he said
The matter has been reported to the Tech police
station for further investigations.
